Solved: PK5000, unable to set up file sharing between wired and wireless

After reading posts in this forum and others, and reviewing MSFT tech docs, I'm still not able to establish file sharing between the wired PC and the wireless-connected laptop. Maybe I'm working under some stupid assumptions. I am able to ping each computer by their IP address - I can ping the laptop from the desktop, and vice versa. The desktop shows the Basecomputer under network places, but on the laptop, nothing at all shows up under network places. Laptop missing something?

g) Both are running Windows Firewall; File and Printer Sharing is checked for both, under the Exceptions tabl

h) I ran the Network setup wizard for both, using same Workgroup name, called HOME. Desktop is called BASECOMPUTER, and Laptop is called LAPTOP. No errors in the setup. On the desktop PC, under Windows Explorer, Network Places -> Entire Network, I can see a 'Home' network under a Microsoft Windows Network icon, with the Basecomputer listed. However, LAPTOP is not listed. This is after a couple of restarts.

I had to start a couple of these services, and also altered the startup options per the list. After doing that, I can now see the basecomputer shared resources !!! Even the printer. Working now. Thanks!!!

Great! Is it too late to say that I was gonna mention the services next if the node fix didn't completely solve it? Well, no matter now; the node had to be fixed, and I'm happy that you found the services.
